Stearman PT-17 in jungle country

"GO WITH FRIENDLY NATIVES---SIMS---SMITH SAFE". That is the message of reassurance painted on the underwing of this Stearman PT-17, which cruised the bail-out area and led to the rescue of the Boeing B-29 crew which bailed out in jungle country. The Air Service Command search mission was headed by Colonel William S. Pocock Jr., commander of the "Burma Peacocks".
